Up for bid are three sea green colored wine glasses designed by Andries Dirk Copier, who worked for the Glasfabriek Leerdam factory in the Netherlands. According to my research, Andries Copier created these glasses around 1927 and were part of his Peer design series, which featured thin glass stemware with bowls that resembled a pear, along with octagonal bases. Each glass measures a little less than 5 1/4 inches tall and has the Copier acid etched mark under the base. NOTE: One of them has a small defect that could have happened in the factory. It is a small black dot (smaller than a pin head) with a small line through it. The glass still rings when plucked, so I don't think it's a crack. (Unfortunately, my camera isn't strong enough to photograph something that tiny). Other than that, they are in very good condition with no chips or cracks. They would make a great addition to your A. D. Copier glass collection.Andries Dirk (A.D.) Copier The Netherlands 1901 - 1991Andries Dirk Copier (1901-1991) is considered the most important Dutch glass artist of the 20 th century . Copier's work was influenced by the most recent tech nical discoveries, resulting in personal contemporary de signs. Early in his car eer he was appointed as designer at the Leerdam Glas fabriek (Leerdam Glassworks), where he was given the opportunity to experiment. To gether with his team he discovered a wide range of techniques for both utility and one-off ' Unica ' pieces, such as the use of tin crackle effects, enamel powders, and free formed bubbles and ribs. His designs for util ity glass, such as the ' gildeglas' , are still in production. His Unica s brought him international fame. Introduced in 1925 as 'Leerdam Unica ', these experimental glass objects are regarded as the predeces s ors of the Studio Glass Movement and show glass as an art object in its own right.Please understand that many of the items I sell are purchased at estate sales and auctions.
